I had to go to Home Depot to buy a couple of 100 ft. hoses to water in the corners of my back yard. I have several blooming trees and since we've not had any rain to speak of for a month now, I thought I should water them as they are starting to bloom. I have a red bud, an ornamental pear, and a peach tree all of whom are popping out blooms. I also have several live oak trees and they don't lose their leaves till March when the new leaves push off the old leaves. The old leaves are starting to fall so I thought those trees could use a good drink of water.

I bought some really good sprinklers that spray water in a huge area, but I neglected to get hoses long enough to reach to the back corners of the yard.

I also planted the rest of my potatoes. It is a little late to plant potatoes, but oh well, if they grow - great - if not then next spring I'll be a little quicker. Since Gary and I will be gone till the first of July, I want my crops to be later anyway. So, we'll see.
